Praise for Kingpin : "This time around, Lawson gives his coldly professional D.C. criminal intrigue a surprising heart. Don't get used to it."-- Kirkus Reviews "Lawson continues to capture the qualities that have made DeMarco so easy to root for across the past two decades: his abhorrence of injustice and his willingness to get his hands dirty in service of the greater good. Well-drawn side characters and plausible renderings of crooked political dealings provide a boost. Lawson's winning formula continues to pay dividends." -- Publishers Weekly "Lawson immerses readers in a world of rough operators and political maneuvering, all of it highly satisfying and suspenseful.

"-- Dwyer Murphy, CrimeReads Praise for the Joe DeMarco Series: " Alligator Alley is fast-paced, humorous, chilling, and vividly accurate."-- Criminal Element "Lawson's toolkit includes great pacing, wry humor, a thorough understanding of criminal thinking and engaging characters."-- Discover Our Coast "Assured prose matches the two capable protagonists: the crafty DeMarco and the relentless, brilliant Emma. This is perhaps Lawson's best in the series to date."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[A]s the plot moves forward, readers may wonder why their palms are sweaty . This one sneaks up on you, but it's a really stunning thriller.-- Booklist (starred review) "The twists and turns keep the pages flying by, with a few moments of levity sprinkled in to break the tension. The conclusion will leave readers both shocked and satisfied .

This is an easy entry to the Joe DeMarco series and will win Lawson some new fans."-- Library Journal.
